Mark Giordano wants to play on into his age-41 season, and now, it appears the veteran defenseman is drawing significant interest.
After a stellar career that's taken him through Calgary, Seattle and Toronto, many believed that after 1,148 games in the NHL, Mark Giordano would take this summer to hang up his skates. That appears not to be the case anymore, with his agent confirmed that Gio will look to play on in 2024/25, and shortly after, he revealed that there were several teams interested.
Giordano was quickly linked to his two former Canadian teams, along with the Edmonton Oilers, but now a surprise squad has joined the race, with the Buffalo Sabres expressing interest in the 41-year old.
Whether or not a team like the Panthers, Oilers, Rangers or Maple Leafs among others would look at Giordano seriously is up in the air at this point, but if he's intent on playing on, expect him to find a role in the NHL somewhere in 2024/25.
